While volcanoes erupted in Iceland, basically ruining the London Book Fair for lots of folks, my stomach erupted from my Sunday evening pre-birthday dinner and basically ruined my birthday. Whatever. Since I couldn’t go out, a couple of lovely friends came over with cupcakes baked with love (red velvet, yum!) and The Best of the Chappelle Show.

So, anyway – if anybody was looking for updates on LBF, you can just tell them to go to David Maybury’s blog because I like it there and because he was very dutiful about his updates.

Also, my boss just handed me The Ear, the Eye and the Armby Nancy Farmer. I can’t wait to start reading it!
